A hot wire would cut it and weld it right back together in a single pass.....

Hi A-One... I really appreciate your craft and wanted to thank you for sharing the helpful information. I am an inventor who is currently working on creating a tool similar to a dentist pick tool. I was so eagar to bring my idea to life that I created a carving out of Camay soap... lol. It worked and I have the concept figured out. My next step is to create precise model of the tool from wax. Thanks to your from your video, I think that the hard green wax would work better for what I need.

What about a hot wire, to cut it with?

Nice. Thanks Dave. That wax is really workable. Does the green wax have as much shrinkage issues as the purple?
